Question / Help When I open OBS i lose like 60-70 fps before I even start recording or streaming.

[Ortero]

When I open OBS my fps in game goes from 200 to 130 and sometimes even less. That is before i even start recording or streaming, when i start recording to goes down to 50 and when i close OBS my frames stay the same until i restart the game. Any idea what may cause that ?

OBS compeses, scales and renders your scene via GPU, so a hit on GPU performance is normal (with 1440p scaled down to 720p 60fps my GTX1070 @3D clocks has ~6-10% load from OBS).
It's possible, that you have some browser sources or video device sources, that will increase that performance hit.
So maybe you can create a new scene collection and only add the game capture source to check, if the performance hit is the same, or much butter.
Btw. this rendering process is happening, even with OBS just opened and not recording/streaming.
